Maybe this forum isnt that popular maybe because of other *** that are avaible..

Gnutella is more popular than ever.. Maybe some of the programs that were getting alot of hype has died down but that doesnt mean that the rest of the network is unpopular..

I dont think that one or two things could be contributed to any file sharing programs demise. I dont really agree with backmann's point that users are hurting the network by not accepting incoming connections because many users dont have any control or that or the knowledge to work their firewall to allow traffic.

As for sharing its always a problem for someone but i dont think that the amount of sharing is dangerously low or anything..

The main thing that does hurt gnutella is people who use outdated servents. Gnutella is only as good as the software thats running it.
